Back to routine

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Well…there’s really nothing left to do for Marathon besides wait for Film Festivals to respond to us.  We have some minor things to finish but it’s basically done.  So now it’s time to get back to routine.  Writing!

I’m currently working on a feature length script with the working title of “The Hair Cut Boys”, which I stole from a home video my grandma showed me.  In the home video, my cousin Dane and I ride around in a wagon in the backyard and we constantly yell “we’re the hair cut boys!”…I guess because we just got cool haircuts or something…

Anyway, the story is pretty strange and I would like to post my treatment but that’s probably not a very good idea.

ONLY 2 days until LOST!

The Writing Playlist

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I’ve been on the search to find the best music to listen to while writing in the evenings.  You would think anything would work, but it’s not true.  AC/DC?  Too loud.  Oasis?  Too catchy.  Makes you want to sing and lose focus.  Wilco?  Same problem.  Vampire Weekend?  Make me want to dance.

It’s usually  best to have music without words (classical always works) and if you must have words then I like music the music listed below:

  • Sigur Ros - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
  • M. Ward - Hold Time
  • Ryan Adams - Love is Hell
  • Rich Mullins - A liturgy, A legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band
  • AA Bondy - American Hearts
  • Bon Iver -  For Emma, Forever Ago
  • Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
  • Ryan Adams - Cardinology
  • Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrphya

That’s what you need to write…
